Mechanoluminescent platforms have emerged in smart wearable technology, however, their luminescence performance often deteriorates under extreme elastic conditions owing to a misinterpretation of polymer matrix behavior. Here, the authors study the role of polymer matrices in mechanoluminescence via elasticity-driven interface-triboelectric effects providing insights into selecting optimal polymers for smart wearable applications.
